tom cochrane's "life is a highway" vs alannah myles' "black velvet"

Personally, for me, I like to crank "Life is a Highway" up real loud on my Zune when I'm at the gym getting pumped up to fuck later that night. Then, later that night, while fucking, I like to have "Black Velvet" playing very softly and gently on my Bose Wave Radio (it also plays MP3s). But don't ask me to choose between these two.

i think any possibility of "Life Is A Highway" growing on me with time was erased when the Rascal Flatts cover became an equally gigantic hit a few years ago.

i kinda love black velvet

Oh you're in for the treatsiest.

i sort of love both these songs

Both are appalling, but Cochrane gets a passing grade.

black velvet video is very 90s hot. alannah really works it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkXNEmtf9tk

I hated "Life Is A Highway" then and I still do. Truly vile and fuckng inescapable.

'life is a highway' video refuses to show us tom cochrane's fat chin

LIAH is one of the only two cassingles I ever owned.

black velvet 4 lyfe u fools

A NEW RELIGION THAT'LL BRING U TO UR KNEES

the best is watching karaoke black velvet tbf, every saint a sinner

'life is a highway' is as inane as the metaphor
'black velvet' = the human condition

i like LIAH cos u can turn the lyrics dirty so easily bc of "life is a" _________, "i wanna" ______ "it all night long"
fill in the blanks as u choose:
butthole, fuck
etc

a strong point in its defense!

That Robin Lee version is like eating "Oat Rings" instead of "Cheerios".

I'm so close to voting Black Velvet

Also Jujubee and Sahara lip synched the hell out of it on S2 of rupaul's drag race
http://fuckyeahrupaulsdragrace.tumblr.com/post/3935537978/mackudokey-bottom-two-jujubee-and-sahara

life is a highway and black velvet have the exact same amount of dislikes on youtube

jus sayin

upon review i regret and would like to retract the "kinda" in my previous post itt

"Black Velvet" is effin great

i like LIAH cos u can turn the lyrics dirty so easily bc of "life is a" _________, "i wanna" ______ "it all night long"

for got my personl fav:
ding-dong, suck

"Black Velvet" easily, mainly because I didn't recognize it by name and was pleasantly surprised to finally know what that one song is called. It's not great but it falls into the background sooooo much better. "Life Is A Highway" is way up in your face sonically, and the metaphor is so cringe-inducingly dumb, everything about it proclaims "lame baby boomer in mid-life crisis buys convertible, drives out west looking for experience he missed the first time around." Also irritating because I quite like "Lunatic Fringe" and the positive vibes of post-Cannibals turn-of-the-90s pop-rock (see relevant threads) and this sort of ruins both.

Gotta say the long outro of "Black Velvet" is fairly stupid though, reminds me how much this sort of plodding take on blues-rock arrangement dominated as the go-to signifier for "rootsy" "authentic" American bar-band rock through the entire decade.

by what standard doesn't Myles get way up in your face sonically?

lol @ life is a butthole

I like Life is a Highway because it reminds me of that solo Lou Gramm song 'Midnight Blue' --- I don't know *why* except idk, cars/highways as a theme

"Midnight Blue" is harder better faster stronger

agreed

Black Velvet as I heard the other song way too many times and Tom Cochrane's was the first CD I ever bought at a Target

by what standard doesn't Myles get way up in your face sonically?

I admit she kind of wails on the chorus but generally the song is more content to stay back as a slow-groove jam or whatever. Compared to the compressed guitar attack on "Life Is A Highway" it's like elevator music.

Midnight Blue is a jam

Life is a Highway is jelly, the cheap store-brand kind

anyway I still don't know what I'm going to pick?

alannah's voice is a little more reverbed and distant than tom's halitosis flying at u face

tom cochrane = http://menwholooklikeoldlesbians.blogspot.com

haha funny you say that about halitosis. Myles' new religion that'll bring you to your knee smells like pepperoni pizza-flavored Combos breath.

I WOULD TAKE COMBOS BREATH OVER LADY-SNATCH BREATH ANY TIME

since you put it that way so would I

Life Is a Highway is the hit that Boy Inside the Man should've been, fwiw.

lunatic fringe > life is a highway

that's a given

look I hate both these songs but how can people be repping for "Black Velvet" ITT, that shit is dire

U CRAZY

i mean i do not care what life is like nor do i have much desire to hang out on a highway but doing things in a slow southern style is a valuable and fulfilling pastime imo

this is like pub karaoke diva anthem vs some car bullshit

Exactly, and songs about cars always win. All songs are driving songs.

Fuckin HATE Black Velvet. When it came out, I worked in a place that had piped commercial radio in the ceiling, and this song was played about 3 times EVERY DAY, and I hate it SO DAMN MUCH.

(associated songs of loathing for the same reason/time: Losing my religion, zombie, heart-shaped box)

Walking in Memphis

Ugh yes.

If I get earworms from this thread I'm going to kill balls (theres a sentence I never thought I'd utter)

I'm sick of both, and used to love both at one time in my life, but now the frontrunner is clearly Black Velvet.

I had no idea how many goddamn times "Life is a Highway" was going to be covered, esp by country artists. I feel like it's a rarity when I even HEAR the original version now.

Really? Ive never heard a one. I suddenly feel blessed.

(tbh I dont mind LIAH, its jaunty enough in its irritating way)

I know of three different covers, Chris LeDoux, Rascal Flatts, and one other that I forget. oh and they also made a Chipmunks version...OF THE RASCAL FLATTS COVER.

This poll is amazing I cant decide

Maaaamma's baaaayyyybaaaayyyy

IF YAW GOIN MAH WAY

*so torn*

Black Velvet, if you please. The other has a chorus built for bw3 shoutalongs but even failed at that.

TS: Apollo VS Dionysus

I had no idea "Black Velvet" was so hated! "Life Is a Highway" hate seems like a culturally recognized thing, but "Black Velvet" feels like a relic of its time that no one really bothers to care about one way or the other. But contra the opening post, I also haven't heard it since the 90s, probably.

in high school I was in an a cappella group. we sang life is a highway. i sang the solo.

i still prefer black velvet.

I think the reason both of these songs stick out in my head as 'cheesy', through no fault of their own, is because I'd hear both of them whenever one of those "HOLY SHITFUCK, IT'S THE 90s" compilation CD infomercials came on.

look I hate both these songs but how can people be repping for "Black Velvet" ITT, that shit is dire

you should be warned that the next time I see you, I will sing my part of the conversation to the tune of "Black Velvet"

which restaurant should we go to tonight?
I think that this one has veggie options
a decent beer list and a fun atmosphere
black velvet, if you please

wear a trenchcoat while doing that, and see what fun ensues

Legitimately love "Black Velvet." Puke at even the thought of "Life is a Highway."

I thought it was "love is a highway" for years. thought it was a metaphor for 'getting off'.

My complaint with Black Velvet (both of them, it appears) is the poot-poot-poot deep farty tones of the bass. Also, as someone who lives down here, I get a little tired of Southern Gothic songs where the air is like molasses, mama's rocking her baby, there's fried green tomatoes down at the whistle stop cafe, the darkies may or may not be in the fields hollerin'...

But all that, Life Is a Highway is from a world where there are Canadians less cool than Bryan Adams, smilies are trite, and instead of yellow lines, the roads are divided by a 3000-mile blood stain from the abortion that was once Tom Cochran's integrity.

whenever I hear "Life Is A Highway" I expect to be swarmed by polo-shirt wearing 80s frat dudes who are going to ask me to breakdance for them

(the scary thing is that in this imaginary scenario, half the frat dudes are black)

I hate Black Velvet more than I can say. It irritates the shit out of me.

Oh wait, I don't hate Balls. I take that back - it was mean. Still hate Black Velvet though.

they're not my most hated songs ever but they're def in that zone

She rides in on a horse (it lasts almost an entire second!) in the video, so the chaps are at least scene appropriate. What bugs me is she has a belt for her pants, and a belt for her chaps, but felt she needed a decorative third belt to tie the look together.

standing against rocks vs standing in a doorway

I think I've discovered that LIAH may have been one of the first 90s videos to feature ancillary sideshow characters who have no other reason to appear in the video besides to "push the boundaries" of the viewer (Also see: Soul Asylum, Metallica, any video featuring an evil clown walking down the street.)

http://i.imgur.com/MPU0uim.png

Watching the "Life Is A Highway" video for the first time in forever and I'm amazed so much suck can come out of such a tiny little mouth. I also had completely blocked out the harmonica solo. This is worse than I remembered. Vile doesn't cut it.

i like both of these songs fine. i voted life is a highway bc i can instantly remember how the entire song goes, whereas with black velvet i remember nothing that happens other than the chorus

del griffith's post curiously uncommented upon

life is a highway is a stupid and boring song that i feel like i still hear too much, black velvet is just a mediocre song that mostly seems to have been left in the past except for the chorus which I'm hearing in my head now. *mimes shooting self*

LIAH is worse.

xp: well really, what is there to say?

dg's post is great, easy targets but nails em

ok listening to black velvet now and people who complained about the farty bass tone and the generic list of southern imagery are otm

Thanks for reminding me about Midnight Blue

there are times though when I think every song should have farty bass on it

pretty sure the blind double-date my friends took me on, which involved going to a karaoke place at the end, involved the prospective date singing 'black velvet'

no one has talked abt elvis itt

black velvet is a song abt elvis

better to have had a blind and deaf date

bc then u cd play pinball instead of singin song abt elvis

otm

for some reason this:

oh god, I wish

my friend goole
he says BLACK VELVET
IF YOU PLEEEZE....

I don't judge people for their karaoke choices unless they do hip-hop, and that's just because 95% of karaoke performers forget that hip-hop songs have verses that they don't actually know

weirdly, every woman on Earth seems to know "Shoop"

ha i was at karaoke on saturday and yeah three shoops.

no don't stop believins tho. that was an unexpected surprise.

I know all the words to Shoop for sure. And I've totally done it at karaoke.

It's fun!

every girl knows "Summer Nights"

if she loves elvis so much then say his name ffs

tom cochrane comes down firmly on life and highways, he has an edge

also farty bass complaints otm

ftr I like "Shoop" more than either of these songs

actually an Alannah Miles/Tom Cochrane "Shoop" duet would be amazing

karaoke bar waitress: fuck, another three shoop night.
2nd waitress: girl, i know

saints

btw I don't hate LIAH at all and if I was in the car and it came on the radio I'd probably turn it up. You guys are all crazy.

lol when I first saw "Shoop" I first thought of Cher's "The Shoop Shoop Song."

I will never take a roadtripp with ENBB, just on the off-chance that was going to happen.

There were people back then who'd whisper almost conspiratorially about BV, "you know," *clears throat* "those lyrics are about Elvis."

Like you were supposed to drop jaw and go holy shit over something like that.

I'm amazed so much suck can come out of such a tiny little mouth.

hahaha

If we ever meet I'm gonna make sure I bust out spontaneously with LIAH. From Mozambique to those Memphis Hills ba da da I don't know any of the other words. Brb gonna learn just in case I get this opportunity.

I like to think it's about a brand of horrible discount whiskey

THERE AREN'T ANY HILLS IN MEMPHIS. THAT'S WHY WALKING THERE ISN'T THAT BIG OF A DEAL.

shot rings out in the Memphis hills

And another thing, Dr. King was shot in the early evening, not the early morning.

Though knowing Memphis, there were probably some shots fired early that morning too.

TELL ME ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN CHILD

In the grand tradition of all polls like this, one of these songs was a radio staple when I was growing up and is engraved on my heart, the other I've never heard until now and is clearly ridiculous. I do not care to elaborate on which is which, just gonna head home, strolling into a sun setting like molasses in the sky.

x-posts lol when I took the AP US history exam in HS I remember thinking that I could use that song to for dates/paces if I had to write anything abut MLK.

I'm really angry that all of you like BV so much. I think may actually hate it more than I hate The Living Years which before right now I did not know was possible.

What either of these songs really needed was a cameo by the ghostly apparition of Elvis Aron Presley, appearing either hitchhiking on the highway or perhaps standing by the rusty old mailbox at the end of the gravel driveway.

oh my god I love "The Living Years" both ironically and earnestly

hahahaha the living years makes my skin crawl

it's funny how i hate that song but i love "boys of summer" by don henley and "out on the road today i saw a deadhead sticker on a cadillac" just makes me laugh but maybe it's because the don henley song isn't saccharinely squirmy as fuck

"Electric Blue" has one of the greatest choruses ever written.

And John Oates helped write it, of course.

waaau @ Iva Davies' Mullet of Doom.

can we get hornsby up in here?

Naw. We're listening to the mandolin rain.

Anyone wanting to cleanse their palette of BV/LIAH/TLY, etc. should head on over to Candy Dulfer and David A. Stewart - "Lily Was Here"

only if it's "Mandolin Rain"

when are you most likely to hear "Lily Was Here" --

I spit out my tea

See i could be real mean and do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu6pclWsxzs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

But i wont

I remember when "BV" was a hit more or less at the same time as Melissa Etheridge's "Like the Way I Do" and between those and residual Bon Jovi and peak New Kids on the Block on the radio I was all, bleh, no more radio for me.

You guys are just hitting all my youthful favorites. Quick, someone mention Skid Row and we'll have the whole lot.

oh Neanderthal you dick

this was the fucking theme song for my senior year prom

ours was "More Than Words"

remember this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g06TP17rSA4

you know what is a really good middle school dance song? "rush, rush" by paula abdul. i know, but really, you guys! it's an improbable gem.

"The Promise of a New Day" was one of our senior year themes.

I preferred BLOWIN' KIIIISSES EEEEN DA WEEEEEEND

What is important to note is that The Call's "Let The Day Begin" is the best of the AOR monstrosities of this era by a fair margin. I might still have that cassingle somewhere...

I have always thought that "Rush, Rush" sounds like it is being sung by Prince Herbert from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

i feel like paula abdul's limitations as a singer are kind of charming on that song and that song alone.

i might just be remembering keanu reeves in the video fondly tbh

When i was in elementary school i went to this summer camp where i basically got beat up and teased for years while the counselors ignored it...and then there were the talent shows, where girls and boys alike danced inappropriately to the following songs:

Paula Abdul - Straight Up
JJ Fad - Supersonic
Def Leppard - Pour some...
Wilson Phillips - Hold On

And most inexplicably...

Expose - I'll Never Get Over You

no way to dance inappropriately to "Supersonic."

can I release an atom bomb on this thread?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM4Tu47Z0v0

Xpost In that case, it was more they were dancing catatonically

goth dancing to "Supersonic"

honestly this sounds like heaven

No time is a good time for goodbye ....

Hahaha Dan. That used to be on my guilty pleadures Spotify playliat

Sara ... SARA!

a good friend of mine and I won a Boy Scout talent show with a lip synch routine to "Sara"

that is a lot of amazing information

Our senior prom song was Bob Marley's ""High Tide or Low Tide," which no one fucking knew because it was a previously unreleased track on the then-new boxed set. Thank you, stoner Class President.

IIRC we did descending forward spirit fingers to indicate rain, then pointed to our eyes (with an appropriate rocking-infant-in-arms move for the "oh baby" interjection)

btw, i've posted this before, but here's a horrible spotify playlist relevant to your needs today: http://open.spotify.com/user/pplains/playlist/2r97BYI2QfmREyimHmdt9l

Surprised Starship never recorded a song called "Order of the Arrow." Maybe they did!

whatever, pp, 3/4 of that looks awesome on first glance

fyi this is either the fourth or fifth time I've referenced this talent show on ILX, I would have thought that was a detail ppl would remember #invisiblelipsyncher

what the hell is "kid ego" by extreme, though

One year at homecoming the big slow dance was ub-40's cover of "Can't Help Falling in Love".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blcpPDGCWUo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

junior year the prom song was "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel

xps: hey kid ego with your head above the clouds
hey kid ego - get down!

haha was the album "lily was here" was released on really entitled saxuality?

why was Extreme ever a thing

i am listening to kid ego and kind of enraged that extreme was ever allowed to have another song

*sheepish* I unironically appreciate Pornograffiti and 3 Sides to Every Story.

FPed myself for that

last year some friends of mine had a valentine's day party and they had kind of an eighth-grade dance theme and i made the playlist. i can't bring myself to reveal all the details, but "ready or not" by after 7 was on it, and i love that song to this day.

i thought it was some kind of cosmic justice that a guitar-mag god like nuno bettencourt had two hits with sappy acoustic jams

Babyyyyy you've just got to release me...

ps if you're wondering what ol' nuno as been up to lately:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balls_Out

6. "It Won't Suck Itself" (featuring Chad Kroeger and Nuno Bettencourt) 2:54

no way

"Just Like Tiger Woods" <--somehow i feel like this is probably grosser than i can imagine

that band just came up on another thread last week i think??

ps if you're wondering what ol' nuno as been up to lately:

He's also Rihanna's guitarist!

FWIW Steel Panther is a Tenacious D style parody act walking the thin line between mocking 80s Sunset Strip hair metal and being that

Actually Tenacious D are super subtle in comparison, now that I think about it

The Extreme guitarist appeared in guitar muso magazines a lot in the early nineties.

i swear there was a real-thing gross sex sunset hair band that just came up around here. right??

Ahaha such anger at Extreme for Kid Ego.

Big rumor was Kid Ego was about DAVID LEE ROTH -- this, years before the Van Halen connection.

why was Extreme ever a thing

I am duty-bound to rep for this band, whose music I like a good deal better than that of most of their hairy peers

"Life Is A Highway" + "Black Velvet" =

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAm8rOHcYkI

I remember trying to justify Extreme's "Little Girls" to my parents when I was in middle school. "No, they're not really talking about little girls. It's a song about sixteen-year-olds!"

the bus tour guide made us pick a "theme song"
our theme song was this

the boys all had a crush on the tour guide Sue, and they would sing All I wanna do is make love to sue when the song played & that's why they all voted for it

WE WALKED IN THE GARDEN
WE PLANTED A TREE

I bought a six-pack of Coors the other night. It tasted just like Side 2 of Pornograffiti.

I will rep for a lot of latter-era Heart and even I can't fully get on board with "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You" beyond the "lol this song" stage

i try to pretend it's roxette

WHY WILSONS WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

Nancy and Ann Wilson Phillips

god everybody loved that heart song when i was in middle school and would sing it, like, on the bus and just a line of it would make me so embarrassed i wanted to die

I still vividly remember the listen where I started paying attention to the lyrics and I got to the "we walked in the garden/we planted a tree" part

IIRC screaming laughter was involved

alfred I love you but your Rod Stewart stanning may be the wedge that comes between us

srsly ew

i just kind of like his voice, guys! whatever i am going to immediately forget i admitted this

the 80th best song of 1990, ladies and gentlemen:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJGAX6vqewo

is there anything more endearing than a white dude wearing a t-shirt that says "MY RACE IS HUMAN", I ask you

i think 'young hearts' is the shit but that's probably later than what you mean here

that maxi priest song rules

^^^

let us never again speak of Jive Bunny

it's true that "Downtown Train" is far from the worst song on that list

I mean, "Step By Step" is on it

i think 'young hearts' is the shit but that's probably later than what you mean here

er, *earlier, i mean. wtf.

Motley Crue "Without You" and Aerosmith "What It Takes" are awesome fyi, in case there is any debate

Man I go away for a couple hours and . . .

That fucking song is still in my head btw.

Without you, without you, a sailor lost at sea...

I SLOWLY WILT AND DIE

I did just add a Roxette to my favorite songs of all time playlist because this thread reminded me that it is awesome.

Oh look: Glenn Medeiros.

Roxette only scored one dud American hit.

they had way more songs than "Joyride"

Wait Al what was the dud, I bet it's what I put on my list. lol.

"Fading Like a Flower" I love eternally.

we need to poll this list u guys

"Listen to Your Heart," which sounds like.....Heart.

"Spending My Time" is blah too I guess

there was nothing more deflating to young DJP's Roxette fandom than them following up the awesome and amazing "The Look" (which was debuted in the Twin Cities radio market btw) to the incredibly embarrassing and terrible "Dressed For Some Sex" (nb I have to call it that otherwise I am in danger of having a rage stroke)

wait wtf "Listen To Your Heart" is great, their second-best single easily

um Listen To Your Heart is good wtf

Nah. Prefer "It Must Have Been Love" or "Flower," or better, one of their rockers.

Fun fact: LTYH first #1 unavailable on 45 rpm.

Summer/fall 1990 was the precise moment that I started to care about music in a dedicated way -- which mostly entailed listening to Top 40 radio obsessively -- so I have lots of time for chart hits from that year.

well then, I hope you enjoy your Michael Bolton

The one is was talking about was Dangerous and it's the best.

pretty much every up tempo Roxette single aside from "The Look" is a candidate for the worst fucking song in the world

xxpost jaymc yes me too

i thought every uptempo roxette single aside from "the look" was actually "the look"

The Joyride album is power pop better than most of Cheap Trick. FACT.

Like jaymc I know every song on this list. C'mere -- I'll hum "Sending All My Love"

pretty much every up tempo Roxette single aside from "The Look" is a candidate for the worst fucking song in the world

YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY NEVER HEARD DANGEROUS. HMPF.

better than most of Cheap Trick? unless most = 90's Cheap Trick that is INSANE Alfred you are so high right now

I have heard "Dangerous" far too many times, that song came out when I was a junior in high school

CT only made one good album so I guess they're even.

western canada vs eastern canada

Both Cochrane and Myles are from the Toronto area (Central Canada or Eastern Canada, depending on how you divide these things).

East Toronto vs West Toronto

it's a Canadian civil war!

War is a highway!

I prefer "mercurial"

Her chaps are marching on

I'm still back on EZ Snappin's calling out of her third belt

It's important to question the random belts of the late 80s. I lived through it but have never understood.

I like that the camera pans down through the belts

I'm not that fond of "Black Velvet", and the karaoke diva thing is pretty annoying, but at least I recognize that it's a well-crafted, well-performed tune. "Life Is a Highway" is just some guy shouting a bumper sticker.

i thought tom cochrane was from manitoba! maybe i'm thinking of steve nash.

I hate you

i thought tom cochrane was from manitoba!

According to his website, he was born there but his family moved to Ontario when he was 4.

learning so much about tom cochrane itt

4 years in manitoba will change a boy

from a boy to a manitoba

has that been made into a bumper sticker yet?

anyhow voted 'life is a highway' and not just becuz it doesn't spend alot of the song reminding you better musicians exist and not just becuz it's 'slow southern style' from a torontoan (torontite?)(i bet she is) but cuz dude did fucking 'lunatic fringe' (which i certainly won't hold against 'life is a highway', way more willing to reward someone for approaching greatness once than punish them for failing to do so again. life is a highway dude.) and also cuz it amuses me to think of 'life is a highway' as a sequel to 'lunatic fringe', that 'lunatic fringe' is cochrane going over the precipice and 'life is a highway' is him years down the line, walking along the side of the road, muttering some barely decipherable nonsense to himself under his breath and then screaming 'JUST TELL 'EM WE'RE SURVIVORS' anytime someone approaches him. would kinda love to hear someone take the a capella of 'life is a highway' and bury it in the mix of a godspeed record, like that crank on slow riot for new zero kanada.

'pull ovah, you're in manitoba'

copyrighting that shit

it's 'slow southern style' from a torontoan

I was just thinking about this. I can't imagine someone from Buffalo or Minneapolis doing a song like "Black Velvet" (although a European might). It seems really emblematic of a Canadian inferiority complex, especially at that time.

Cochrane > Myles in general btw. "White Hot" is as good as "Lunatic Fringe" imo.

And a little bit later and we get Chris Isaak

I saw Tom Cochrane in Winnipeg on the tour for LIAH. There was a lot of that thing where everything drops out but the beat and everyone sings the chorus while clapping rhythmically overhead.

Lunatic Fringe and Red Rider in general are great, but have nothing to do with Life is Highway, sorry. You couldn't possibly get less dystopian. This is as close as TomC could come to life on a precipice in 1992:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Uob9Bos_E4

Alannah Myles was as 90s hot as it ever got up in Canada, the year my girlfriend wanted to buy me a pirate shirt. So that.

She rides in on a horse (it lasts almost an entire second!) in the video, so the chaps are at least scene appropriate. What bugs me is she has a belt for her pants, and a belt for her chaps, but felt she needed a decorative third belt to tie the look together.

I'm not that fond of "Black Velvet", and the karaoke diva thing is pretty annoying, but at least I recognize that it's a well-crafted, well-performed tune

it's not, though. it's almost the exact opposite of that: it's a series of poorly-understood passes at a song. that "if you please" at the end of the chorus? what craft is that? It's kind of spiritual kin to Glenn Frey's "The Heat Is On" - there's just nothing really in there.

Life is a Highway sucks too don't get me wrong but Black Velvet is just the shittiest songwriting, the sort of stuff that makes people think the blues must suck to inspire such dreck.

Yeah, I'm not saying it's great, just that it strikes me as a competent melody whereas "Life Is a Highway" doesn't even strike me as that. When I saw the thread, I could remember the whole tune of "Black Velvet" and couldn't remember how most of "Life Is a Highway" went except for the chorus 'hook'. Then I listened and realized it was because "Life Is a Highway" doesn't actually do that much of anything. Both of them sound like made-for-TV studio music, though. What was the rest of the world doing buying this stuff??

I lived through "Life is a Highway"'s initial popularity in the US and then got to experience it all over again when my family went to Australia for a few months at the end of that summer. It took them a while to catch up. "Achy Breaky Heart" was a pop hit there then, too, which was also really weird for a 9th-grade me, just getting into music.

a friend of mine drove from amarillo to dc in the summer of '92 only to discover an hour in that his tape deck was busted. he claims he was subjected to 'life is a highway' on a half-hourly basis by radio stations over that 1600 miles

probably side with robert plant on this one

Black Velvet is the epitome of lift muzak in shitty chart bog-blues form.

What was the rest of the world doing buying this stuff??

Like, if these sorts of things were Canada-only hits, I'd completely agree with Bryan Adams that Cancon breeds mediocrity. However, going by the evidence, Cancon is doing an excellent job of nurturing world-class artists, allowing them to reach the international audience they deserve.

Sund4r otm only one of these has a tune

xp thanks for The Tea Party btw

it's not like radio play elsewhere is 'fair' -- while cancon kinda seems absurd on its face (i recall hearing stuff about how bryan adams had too many american musicians to qualify while springsteen or whomever had a canadian producer) it seems to have worked okay. and i still like that one grapes of wrath album

fwiw we seem to be getting to the point where only geir can make a decisive choice

tbh I didnt know either artist was canadian til this thread.

This is a thread unto itself but:

i recall hearing stuff about how bryan adams had too many american musicians to qualify while springsteen or whomever had a canadian producer

You have to score two points according to the MAPL system: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/info_sht/r1.htm . The idea is to promote Canadian songwriters and recording facilities in addition to performers. Adams threw his hissy fit when "Everything I Do" didn't qualify since music and lyrics were co-written with Mutt Lange and it was recorded in the UK. The criteria were actually revised just because of this (see "special case" #4). So, conversely, a vocal track from Herbie Hancock's Joni Mitchell tribute album would probably count. I actually don't have any issue with this system.

I basically agree with this:

i had a kind of mad crush on a girl in high school that i worked through by making her mix CDs, stuff i thought would seem cool to her. she always said she liked the music i put on the cds, and once she asked me to make a cd with 'life is a highway' on it. id never really heard it before and i found it on napster and listened to it and spent the evening trying to like it because this girl i liked liked it.

anyway nothing ever really happened w/ her. youd think this would make me hate the song but for some reason it makes me oddly like it.

a new religion that'll bring ya to your knees!

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer-style interjection:

"Like Scientology!"

I had fun hating LIAH with my friends when it was huge and was just impartial to BV when it came out. In the intervening years I've grown to despise slow blooze stuff so much more and have at least a nostalgic appreciation for Tom Cochrane. I'd change the radio station in anger on Alanna Myles now and would at least leave LIAH on. I totally cranked Midnight Blue when I heard it last month fwiw.

That 1990 list is insane to me when I think about how well I know almost all of those songs

I sort of don't care about Alannah Myles' cliches tbh

manitoba in the middle of a dryspell

looking at that billboard list. totally forgot about "just like jesse james." i was on a jet flying out to san jose for the 1990 national forensic league nationals. had my plastic tube "headphones" plugged into the armrest where the music came from. there were like 10 loops of music you could choose. i picked the pop loop. heard this song about once every 30 minutes for four+ hours that flight. kinda cathartic.

i hate both LIAH and BV, though i'd probably have more fun karaoke-ing BV. it was summer after my freshman year of college when LIAH had the world on its knees. i had to work really early on monday mornings, so i'd set the vhs to record 120 minutes. sometimes i'd just let the tape roll through the night to see what interesting shit they'd play after the show. it was very disappointing. LIAH was played. constantly. come back to at&t commercials and LIAH. all night.

guys can we please not drag midnight blue into this? legit great track that deserves to be polled against "oh sherry" or not at all.

"Midnight Blue" vs. "We've Got Tonight"

I only knew "Just Like Jesse James" thanks to Shadoe Stevens and AT40; never heard it on the radio.

LIfe is a highway
I want to drive [life] all night long.

How do you drive a highway? It's pedantic, but you don't "walk a sidewalk/footpath" either.

Life is a runway, I want to fly it all night long.

Another complaint, this is one of those videos about doing something "all night long" that takes place almost exclusively during the day.

It's like that White Lion cover of Radar Love where THE BAND GETS CHASED BY THE COPS AT NOON IN THE DESERT.

Yeah, that's a weird chorus, come to think of it. Does he give up on life during the day?

it's "ride" not "drive"!

He has to make the video during the day. At night he comes alive and hits the road, and can't be arsed to make a video because he's too busy living. Makes perfect sense.

we leave our lives to ride the highway (go daddy go)

it's "ride" not "drive"!

man between this and tons of ppl repping for the black keys on ilm i'm starting to have some serious doubts about this place. guess you guys just love the blues.

this is fucked up

I think this is right and just

"Black Velvet" vs. "Life is a Highway" vs. LULU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3K2N7FZSXc

I voted for Black Velvet because listen, it's not about which song I prefer but which one I abhor. Black Velvet, like I mentioned above, is a paint-by-numbers farty southern gothic tune about babbies and elvis and front porches and blah blah blah. But at the end of the day, it's not "Life Is A Highway".

Just the title of that one alone should induce nausea. Hey man, come here, I got a little story to tell you and it's called LIFE IS A HIGHWAY. If you saw that on a billboard driving down the road outside Panhandle City, you'd be tempted to pull the wheel to the right off the road for an attempted kamikaze attempt on a title so banal. You know how you could take something so boring and tick it up a notch to be something that doesn't make you want to kill yourself? How about "Expressway to Your Heart" or "Long and Lonesome Highway" or goddam, even "Highway Song" would be better. None of those titles sit you down and try to condescend to you.

And that's just the title. Listening to the song only gets worse from there. So whatever, Black Velvet wins. Had LIfe Is A Highway gone up against something like All I Wanna Do is Make Love to You, you'd likely have seen the same result. Life Is a Highway sucks that much.

if "Black Velvet" is a mosquito bite, "Life Is A Highway" is a full-on raging staph infection

both of these songs are probably best experienced at karaoke bars

the more off-key and drunk the better

LIFE IS BLACK VELVET
I WANNA SMILE IT
ALL NIGHT LONG

I'd like these songs more if they didn't sound like music that plays when someone rides a mechanical bull

MISSISSIPI IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY
I WANNA RIDE JIMMY RODGERS ALL NIGHT LONG

Black highway in that little boy's smile

4 Non-Blondes "What's Up" vs Edie Brickell "What I Am"

its a semi final
winner goes against the winner of
Deep Blue Something - Breakfast At Tiffany's Vs Cranberries "Zombie"

both of these songs are probably best experienced at karaoke bars

both of these songs are best experienced by your enemies, locked in a room unable to escape from hornets

The love for Black Velvet sickens and appalls me. I'm outraged tbqh.

Would you say it's brought you to your knees?

yeah i mean cochrane, the boy could sing, knew how to move, everything

Not sure how many people here 'love' "Black Velvet," as opposed to "loathe it slightly less than 'Life is a Highway.'"

OTM

between wisdom from a man who's walked the roads and lived to tell and a dryhump w/ some pale skank in the back corner of an applebees you ppl chose the dryhump. sad day for ilx.

looool

I don't think I even ended up voting, I don't really hate either, they're both terrible earworms and I used to like them a long time ago

Dude's album after the one with LiaH was called Ragged Ass Road?

See? My vote could've totally been swayed had I known that.

i will say take off the vocals and 'black velvet' is not too far from being some kind of balearic schaffel track

Take off the vocals and it sounds like the generic tracks that come with Apple GarageBand.

yeah i don't really play video games

ok I changed my mind, black velvet is worse garbage, I keep imagining it covered by four non blondes for some reason and even the mere idea of that song in my own head makes me angry at both Alannah Myles and FNB.

I guess "life is a highway" is terrible too but almost movingly so, it's like the lyrics were written by that firefighter who won season 1 of the bachelorette, I guess my heart warms to the song when I imagine this garbage being recited to a girl in a gazebo at night while she weeps surrounded by a reality tv production team rather than performed by tom cochrane.

How this song went from being the hit du jour on my mother's favorite adult contemp station to being a fav of 20 something collegiates who consider it "sultry" is beyond me

Also Life is a Highway is the 90s version of Louie, Louie in regards to how many times it's been covered

Personally, for me, I like to crank "Life is a Highway" up real loud on my Zune when I'm at the gym getting pumped up to fuck later that night. Then, later that night, while fucking, I like to have "Black Velvet" playing very softly and gently on my Bose Wave Radio (it also plays MP3s). But don't ask me to choose between these two.

I can't find it at present, but I'm pretty sure there was a pre-nu-ilx thread where we compared the lyrics of Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" to those of Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again."

On what type of road do I walk? A lonely one.

Who is with me on this road? No one.

How, therefore, do I walk whilst I am on this lonely road? Why, it appears that I am walking alone.

Because it's a lonely road, and I am on my own.

Have I ever known a different type of road? No, I have not. For I am a person who walks alone, on a road that is best described as "lonely."

A road is like a road that you travel on.

look I hate both these songs but how can people be repping for "Black Velvet" ITT, that shit is dire

Black Velvet doesn't make me want to forcefully insert a harmonica in someone's rectum

so you're voting "Life Is A Highway"?

I wonder how many people have been murdered to the tune of 'Life Is A Highway'. Probably lots.

No love for Velvet but if you'd told me back when I was 12 that this song would continually find new life over the next two decades via the horcruxes of shit pop-country fare, I might have made it my life's mission to relieve Cochrane of his head

DOWN IN THE CHUGGAROO

Both of these songs still make me want to slit my wrists, so obviously that's effective songwriting.

Elliott Smith had the wrong idea

I don't think I voted in this but if I did it would have been for life is highway bc when I was younger and less sophisticated I would sing the chorus as

Life is a ding dong
I wanna grind it all night long

And that still makes me happy

lololol

omg

i always replaced "blue velvet" with "bleached asshole"

love was ours
ours a love I held tightly
feeling the rapture grow
like a flame burning brightly
but when she left, gone was the glow of
bleached asshole
but in my heart there'll always be
precious and warm, a memory
through the years
and I still can see bleached asshole
through my tears

Huh, I apparently came up with a reason to vote for "Black Velvet" on this thread.

couldn't be anything other than black velvet, if you have a convincing argument otherwise, hit me up at 555-7812

What is this "new religion" called?

Weird comparison but Black Velvet is a top song. Great song to karaoke or to strip to and the lyrics are subtly one of the best Elvis tributes or at least the best I can think of right now without being explicit.

I’ve always kind of hated the backing track and the overall production of the song, though. It sounds very dated and cheap compared to other songs from that year.

Maybe Alannah Myles takes this by default?.
